That said, these collapsible lens seem to come off a lot worse in use?

I had the G11 for years and can vouch that it takes great jpegs. Took many a good photo with the G11 straight out of the camera. Keep enjoying it

Always a first for everything Mark. Cheers

Good detective work 😎 Pleased it's sorted

Sensor failure??!

Bit excessive after 1 week though? Ok maybe after a year?

Return it while you can for a swap. This amount of dust does look excessive ....these collapsing lens all have some dust to a degree. Does look a fair amount under the front element on your shot

Great capture....a moment in time....

The Canon link provided shows counterfeit items? See link...

You say that, but the copies are pretty good to the unsuspecting buyer!

Easy to return with Amazon and then get a UK market camera. I wouldn't have anything else if it were me. Could affect the warranty if you ever need to use it. Yes in the UK and Europe our Canons ...

I've never liked these auto lens covers. They might be convenient, but give me an inconvenient manual cap any day.....perhaps there are third party lens protectors out there which fit on the front ...

I once had the low clicking noise on a G11 when zooming in and out so took it back as brand new. Could be the gearing on lens as suggested

What Mars used to look like??!

I'm fairly sure you at full charge you should have three bars as below:

I think larger sensor cameras are becoming the norm and quite possibly the smaller sensor cams such as the G16 have/ will be phased out. Probably down to production costs as well as most people ...

Surreal! 😳

Keeping the button held in as it powers the camera on, keeping it pressed in are you able to reset the camera from the menu? This is how you reset all:
